Topic: Somewhere to start.... (Read 2331 times)

You may have noticed that I have made a few submissions, and I don't feel too embarrassed about them. So I thought I would introduce myself. I am a contract archaeologist working out of Austin, Texas. I have been playing and GMing games for the last 29 years, primarily D&D, but I love WarHammer RPG and CoC the most. I am currently running a D&D campaign called Vel Scurra, which is a sort of victorian-ish/steam punk/dark horror/gigantic city based game. Most of the submission I will make, will probably be related to this. I was a bit nervous about joining your group, but you guys have some really great ideas. I didn't want to steal content and not leave something in return. That being said...I will try and uphold the standards of this site.

I am not as serious or as big of a suck up as that makes me sound…smile .

Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

I have not looked into the new addition of War Hammer, have you? I have a bad habit of buying everything I want at the gaming store so I have to impose limits on myself. I only buy stuff that I think would be a great reasorce for my campaign, and stuff that will not make me want to change story and system in mid stream.

Thanks for the friendly welcome all!

I have the new source book, the bestiary, Sigmars heirs and some more. I recommend the source book and the bestiary and then jugde for yourself where you go from there. I have a feeling that they split much of the material into different relatively small books to make more money. At least the bestiary could have been easily crammed into the source book.Its a good system, I like it more than the old one, it's all more polished. The usual makeover if you get me, and some additional candy to go. The only thing I really object to is that the setting has been set to after Archaon has made war upon the Empire. But it's easy to override that and play in a more stable world. Though I have used both settings with success.

Hail! I am the astonishing LTB, at your service. I haven't been around very long, but if you like D&D, you should love the Citadel. Everyone here is quite nice, and a few are very good editors. Ancient for example, I do believe he despises horrible lines and such, not to impose.

Once again. Well Met, enjoy your stay!
